My Resting Place

This is where I feel so safe
From all the world and all it's hate
For all I am and all I say
Here's where in peace I meditate

Here's where my dreams are spilled and shared
For all to read, for those that care
Here's where revealed are inner fears
Here's all my deep thoughts of despair

Here's where I cling to all I've lost
That's withered, died and turned to dust
Here's where I dwell in memories
Here's where I write my history

A trail of thoughts random, sequenced
In order, honest, no pretence
Here's where the bitter truth resides
Here's where I let go of my pride

Here's where my tears are verbalised
Clouded in words to mesmerise
Whoever should spare time for their eyes
To read, and not even realise

Here lies a broken shameful heart
The limbo where world's torn apart
Linger in nothingness for time
Here are my thoughts, raw, unrefined

I lay to rest the pain within
Here where I let go of my sins
That bury me in guilt and pain
Here's where I fear I shall remain

Till such a time when I am freed
Exhumed from this grave misery
Until I'm saved and given grace
Here's where I'll lie, my resting place
